Also, needed some fuel on the weekend for the mower so took up our 2 x 20L fuel containers we keep in the shed for the mower / whipper snipper to fill them up... Could feel the eyes as we dared fill up a couple of jerry cans. Obviously hoarding. After turning up in our EV....
Really surprised at the lack of anger at old Trumpy over this whole thing. Everyones so quick to blame "Albo" or "Labor" ("labour" usually) rather than... the bloke who is literally the one who initiated the conflict??
Anyway. Will certainly be delicious irony if this is the turning point for electric adoption.
Only an idiot would blame Albo.
However, I'm really raging that Albo and other world leaders won't hold Trump's feet to the fire over this.
Trump started it and he's the only one that can finish it and the only way he will do that is if other leaders throw some shade on him for this idiocy.
Disarming a country that were prohibited from making nukes yet did it anyway, who wish death to us and the western world, is not idiocy. It’s idiocy to just ignore Iran and let them keep working towards destroying us.
Is hilarious that basically every former US president has continually warned of the dangers that Iran pose, yet sat idly by and did nothing while allowing them to develop weapons to annihilate us.
I swear half of Lemmy and the left would thank Iran for nuking them, saying they feel enriched by the nuclear fallout - yet they lose their minds over Russia invading Ukraine lol. Iran is a much but threat than Russia to the west.
You want Iran to have nukes and weapons that can destroy western civilisation knowing full well that they want to destroy western civilisation?
Also maybe watch Forrest Gump and then see who the stupid one is in that situation ;)
There's only one country that uses nukes to destroy civilisation.
You’re not really going to argue that ending a world war was a bad thing, are you?
We don’t want more countries having nukes, especially countries that produce the most terrorist attacks and that literally tell us that they want to destroy the western world.
You're confusing taking action with bombing
What other action do you think they could take?
Just before I block you, I want to say I hope your life goes horribly bad.
People like you are the cancer that makes me hate people.
😘
Funny, 5 days later and you haven’t blocked me?
Bro you need to go back to the library and hit the books, your worldview and assessment of current events is quite flawed. I wonder, have you pulled any of your understanding from credible sources or just your favourite cooker podcast?
I’d love to hear how I’m wrong about Iran. Please enlighten me.
Hit the books mate, I ain't gonna write you an essay you won't even read.
Ah the classic “I can’t actually prove you wrong so I’m going to try back out while telling you you should try prove yourself wrong” argument lol.
Give me a 2 liner on how I’m wrong about Iran, and how I’m wrong about them breaking all the rules they agreed to on enriching uranium, and how I’m wrong about them openly wanting to destroy the west.
Whatever I say or write, you'll still prefer to get your opinion from online influencers instead of academic sources or books. God speed cooker 🤙
So once again you’re avoiding giving an answer because you can’t.
Don't worry, I'm blaming Trump for this.
You are not the only one. I interact with a lot of right-wing nutters and also right-wing “normal” people who are now blaming Trump. Even the cookers and Red Hats are rethinking their world view.
They’re not political you see
